About BMW X6
The development of the E71 started in 2003 under the direction of Peter Tuennermann, following the launch of the E70 X5 in 2001. Work on the design of the E70 X5 was halted in 2005 by designer Pierre Leclercq; test mules were put through their paces beginning in the summer of 2005, and prototypes were put through their paces beginning in late 2006. The first day of production was December 3, 2007.
The BMW X6 is the first vehicle to feature the company’s brand-new Dynamic Performance Control system. This system collaborates with the xDrive all-wheel drive technology, which is also standard on the X6. DPC is a drivetrain and chassis control system that actively distributes drive forces across the rear axle in order to actively correct oversteer and understeer. DPC helps to regulate traction and specifically rectify oversteer and understeer. Not only is torque transferred between the front and back wheels (xDrive), but it is also transmitted laterally between the rear wheels, which results in enhanced maneuverability and increased stability (through the DPC rear axle). Torque vectoring is the term that’s usually used to refer to this kind of lateral distribution of torque.
An electric motor is used to engage and disengage the clutch packs that are located on both output sides of the DPC differential. The clutch pack engages a planetary gearset, which in turn generates an overdrive condition on one of the wheels. A traditional control system will apply the brakes in order to slow down the wheel that is going quicker (the wheel that has less grip) and will also reduce the amount of power that the engine is producing. This results in greater brake wear and progress that is slower than what would be ideal. When necessary, the DPC system will speed up the wheel that is traveling more slowly (the one that has the most traction) in order to preserve the vehicle’s stability. For instance, in order to offer increased acceleration by utilizing the traction advantage provided by the dynamic loading of the outboard tire while cornering, the outer wheel will be overdriven when the vehicle is turning. In order to reestablish traction balance after oversteering, it is necessary to overdrive the wheel on the inside of the vehicle.
